MBVS is Hiring

The Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Services is excited to be
hiring for several positions. Are you looking for a rewarding job working with Maine’s veterans? If so, we may have the job for you. The Bureau is currently hiring for both Veterans Services Officers and Assistant positions.

We are looking to employ an assistant at our Togus office to provide administrative support to veterans and their family members. Additionally, if you’re a veteran looking to help other veterans then a VSO position might be for you!

This is your chance to join a dynamic team of professionals that support Maine veterans and their dependents across the state to attain all possible state and federal veteran, as well as survivor benefits with either a posting in a field office or as a Homeless Veterans Coordinator. Our positions advocate on challenges which may relate to disability, income, health, education, and family situations using expertise and knowledge of other agencies, both state and federal in order to provide for the veteran/dependents in need.

The complete posting and application are available on the DAFS Security and Employment Service Center website link here: https://www.maine.gov/sesc/hr.shtml

Maine Veterans' Dental Network Updates

The Maine Veterans’ Dental Network (MVDN) has had a robust response to the December 27th press release announcing the replenishment of its grant funding and has been recording requests for dental care over the past few weeks from veterans from across the State of Maine. The program will start connecting veterans who have submitted their application and a copy of
their DD-214 to the nearest participating dental clinic in their
area in February.

Seven new dental clinics have been added to the MVDN roster and they include - Katahdin Valley Health Center (with five locations - Houlton, Patten, Ashland, Brownville, and Millinocket); St. Croix Regional Family Health Center (Princeton); and Greater Portland Health (Portland) for a total of 22 dental clinics working together to help address the oral healthcare needs of Maine’s Veterans.

In addition to serving Maine’s veterans’ dental needs, MBVS worked in partnership with the Lunder-Dineen Health Education Alliance of Maine to create a free online continuing education program for oral health care and medical professionals, “Addressing Veterans’ Oral Healthcare Needs,” which received accreditation from Mass General Brigham and went live online on the first week of January.
